AMBERJET 1200 Na Industrial Grade Strong Acid Cation Exchanger

Description
AMBERJET 1200 Na resin is a uniform particle size, high quality, strong acid cation exchanger designed for use in
all water treatment applications: softening as well as demineralisation. The uniformity and mean particle size of
AMBERJET 1200 Na resin have been optimised for use in industrial equipment. In H
+
cycle, it can be used in mixed
bed applications paired with AMBERJET 4200 Cl resin. AMBERJET 1200 Na resin can be directly substituted for
conventional gel cation exchange resin in new equipment and in rebeds of existing installations.
Performance
Operating capacity and ionic leakage depend on several factors such as water analysis, temperature and
regenerant level. The engineering data sheets EDS 0355 A, 0356 A, 0359 A, 0360 A, 0366 A and 0367 A provide
information to calculate them.

Limits of Use
AMBERJET 1200 Na resin is suitable for industrial uses. For all other specific applications such as pharmaceutical,
food processing or potable water applications, it is recommended that all potential users seek advice from Rohm
and Haas in order to determine the best resin choice and optimum operating conditions.
Hydraulic Characteristics
Figure 1 shows the bed expansion of AMBERJET 1200 Na resin as a function of backwash flow rate and water
temperature. Figure 2 shows the pressure drop data for AMBERJET 1200 Na resin as a function of service flow rate
and water temperature. Pressure drop data are valid at the start of the service run with a clear water and a
correctly classified bed.

Ion exchange resins and polymeric adsorbents, as produced, contain by-products resulting from the manufacturing process. The user must
determine the extent to which organic by-products must be removed for any particular use and establish techniques to assure that the
appropriate level of purity is achieved for that use. The user must ensure compliance with all prudent safety standards and regulatory
requirements governing the application. Except where specifically otherwise stated, Rohm and Haas Company does not recommend its ion
exchange resins or polymeric adsorbents, as supplied, as being suitable or appropriately pure for any particular use. Consult your Rohm and
Haas technical representative for further information. Acidic and basic regenerant solutions are corrosive and should be handled in a manner
that will prevent eye and skin contact. Nitric acid and other strong oxidising agents can cause explosive type reactions when mixed with ion
exchange resins. Proper design of process equipment to prevent rapid buildup of pressure is necessary if use of an oxidising agent such as
nitric acid is contemplated. Before using strong oxidising agents in contact with ion exchange resins, consult sources knowledgeable in the
handling of these materials.

Rohm and Haas Company makes no warranties, either expressed or implied, as to the accuracy or appropriateness of these data, and
expressly excludes any liability upon Rohm and Haas arising out of its use. We recommend that the prospective users determine for
themselves the suitability of Rohm and Haas materials and suggestions for any use prior to their adoption. Suggestions for uses of our
products or the inclusion of descriptive material from patents and the citation of specific patents in this publication should not be understood
as recommending the use of our products in violation of any patent or as permission or license to use any patents of the Rohm and Haas
